Who Reads What
Feel free to call ER Radiology (203-688-6180) with any questions you may have regarding ordering, protocolling, execution, or result clarification for imaging studies; if in doubt, it never hurts to discuss it with the ER Radiologist first. The ER Radiologist will do his/her best to answer your question or resolve your issue, but be advised that your question may need to direct you to a sub-specialty service or the intradepartmental teleradiology service.
Understand that our department seeks to balance the desire to provide the highest level of sub-specialty advice and interpretation expertise with the necessity for timely interpretations in the Emergency Department. Depending on the time of day, the ER Radiologist may also be covering inpatient emergencies, shoreline ED cases, ICU studies, etc.Adult ER Weekly 8am-5pm
